In 2004, the U.S. government drastically tightened its restrictions on travel by Cuban-Americans to Cuba to visit relatives. This book recounts in poignant detail, with first-person accounts and photographs, how the new restrictions have left a human toll of pain and suffering. Children who cannot visit their parents, elderly Cubans unable to see the island again before they die, grandparents barred from seeing their grandchildren – their stories will sadden and move you.
